The Germans did not invent Santa Claus. Santa Claus came from the true story of St Nicholas, a bishop who lived in Asia Minor in the 300’s, who was known for giving gifts to poor children. The German settlers in America called him Sankt Nikolaus, and to the Dutch he was Sinter Claus. All of this later evolved into Santa Claus.
